Being a U.S.A. citizen transplanted to the north, you will have the advantage of already being familiar with - perhaps even understanding - the banking and lending practices south of the 48th.The best advice I can share is to reiterate the fundamental message given by Chad and others above and recommend you sit down with an accountant and attorney who understand cross-border taxation, liability and real estate to ensure you get the ownership organisation which fits your present needs, but which can be evolved to meet your long term investment goals while protecting your assets and minimizing your taxation.   

Welcome Steve.I am a transplant from Cleveland, but live in your neck of the woods now.

I'm a transplant here and all the properties I own are out of state (FL, TN, & OH) I would love nothing more than to continue building my portfolio here close to home...but real estate/school taxes are so insanely high here....I just don't see how anyone does it and make it worth the investment?

On January 15th my tenant with a (double lung transplant) decided to smoke in bed leading to burning my entire 4 unit building making it uninhabitable.

Hi all,I am a transplant to Fresno, CA and am in need of a tax preparer this year.

We have a housing shortage due to local fires and an influx of Bay Area transplants, which is making deals difficult to come by.

So it may not be financially accessible for many locals, but it certainly is feasible for transplants with flexible jobs.
